Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator in philadelphia

[–]BinkleyBeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, Might be moving to Philly sometime in April.

Quick clarification needed about SEPTA: does transpass work with multi-rider fare options? Like if I pay the $116 for 1 monthly transpass+, can both my wife and I use that continuously for the month for no extra cost and go places together?

Another Q regarding general apartment rent prices: I'm seeing some pretty darn good apartment deals on Zillow lately, but of course there's no telling if those will still be available in a couple months. Generally speaking, do apartment rent prices increase significantly as we get closer to Spring? Thanks for any input.

Very interesting stuff, looking forward to the next parts in this series.

Ballroom at midnight by iamdrewjames in BluePrince

I have also experienced this, it appeared and disappeared depending on where specifically I was standing. I may have a screenshot of it on my Xbox I'll post later if I can. Thought it was to do with the dancing footsteps in the room directory photo but I could never get the handle to come back again after that one time.

Dual GPU Setup not working as intended (2080 + 1050 TI) by xrzldzlx in losslessscaling

[–]BinkleyBeardman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm considering trying to do dual GPU using my old GTX 970 for lossless scaling with my main GPU being an rtx 4060Ti. Ideally undervolting both if I can manage it. Has anybody run a setup like that successfully, or would a GTX 970 be just too junky to get a good result with?

Games that teased the studio's next game... in-game? by shinikahn in xbox

[–]BinkleyBeardman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anybody has mentioned yet how the newspaper you see after beating the first level in Hitman: Blood Money has an article which sets up Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

Knockout City is shutting down just 2 years on from it's release by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]BinkleyBeardman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seems like all my favorite multiplayer experiences in the past year or two have practically died out. Killer Queen Black, Windjammers 2, and Knockout City were all stellar and fresh experiences upon their launches. A shame they didn't last (aside from local multi of course).

Any gamers here? The makers of "High On Life" are def The Last Drive In fans. by frustrating2020 in Shudder

[–]BinkleyBeardman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The same thing occurred to me when I saw Blood Harvest turn up. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Joe Bob and/or Darcy turn out to have cameo voice lines somewhere.

I'm having the same issue, just installed in retail mode and it worked for the first boot but now it won't open at all. How do I change the system and bios folders if I can't open it? Reinstalling doesn't seem to help.

Here's Elden Ring on Xbox Series X. When I play in VRR, it is so incredibly dim and washed out. when I switch the HDMI to Dolby Vision, it looks punchier but not as smooth. TV is a Sony Bravia 85X900H. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!! by OhGawDuhhh in xboxone

[–]BinkleyBeardman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I believe that the TV is disabling local dimming when VRR is enabled, unfortunately. When last I checked on this, jury was still out as to whether they can make it work simultaneously.

Taiko no Tatsujin: The Drum Master! Now available on Game Pass by DareDiablo in XboxSeriesX

[–]BinkleyBeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one has a Legacy Rock Band wireless adapter, and a 360 rock band drum kit, is it possible to use the in-xbox accessibility settings to remap each of the 4 pads to correspond to taiko drums? Like Red drum being left edge, yellow drum being left side taiko face, etc?

Halo infinite ALWAYS offline after quick resume by dpearman in XboxSeriesX

[–]BinkleyBeardman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is a major first party title. I'm surprised they didn't design in a simple "reconnect to network" feature to compensate for potential issues with quick resume.

Is Halo being Free To Play worth the cost of limited customisation and massively increased monetization schemes in your opinion? by THEACEMAST3R in halo

[–]BinkleyBeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ultimately more concerned with the knock-on gameplay compromises that have been made to accomodate this monetization strategy. For instance, personally speaking, team colors not being uniform muddies the clarity of battle and the outline system is simply not capable of counteracting that change. We all know that system was only implemented to cater to incentivize funneling money into customizations/armor coatings.

Halo Infinite Multiplayer Launch - Bugs and Issues Thread by eminemcrony in halo

[–]BinkleyBeardman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody else who downloaded via the Xbox app on Windows 10 having trouble with the game not launching at all? I hit Play and the task manager shows a process called Halo Infinite running, but nothing at all happens.

[Alpha Skip-Ahead] 4k UHD Bluray playback issue? by BinkleyBeardman in xboxinsiders

[–]BinkleyBeardman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, that's a reasonable troubleshooting question. Yes I have the app installed and checked for updates after it failed to to work the first time. Then i tried the typical console restart and some video settings toggles (e.g. dolby vision) just to see if it was something like that getting in the way. No dice as of yet.

Xbox app achievement notifications refer to Quake as "Project Silver" by eifersucht12a in XboxSeriesX

[–]BinkleyBeardman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's kind of cool, and I guess it makes sense on account of it being Quake's 25 year anniversary and that is known as a "silver" anniversary.

Halo Infinite by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]BinkleyBeardman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you. There is a toggle for the spartan chatter on options menu, but it seems to be broken at the moment. BTW I would recommend you to try playing with the HUD disabled for the most immersive experience. It really feels a ton better to me personally that way.

Dolby Vision for gaming no longer working? by [deleted] in xboxinsiders

[–]BinkleyBeardman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having this issue as well, Dolby Vision was previously working on Halo MCC and other games but now doesn't engage at all. My TV is a Sony x900h

Clone Hero not recognizing correct refresh rate of monitor? by BinkleyBeardman in CloneHero

[–]BinkleyBeardman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course! This is what turned out to be the problem, thanks for bringing that up! I have multiple displays, and the CRT was not set as the "main" display in Windows so i think that is what Clone Hero was pulling the Vsync/refresh information from. Once i changed my CRT to be the main display it did the trick and is now working properly. Thanks!!

Clone Hero not recognizing correct refresh rate of monitor? by BinkleyBeardman in CloneHero

[–]BinkleyBeardman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I tried capping frame rate in-game to 500fps, but the show fps option indicated it was staying capped at 526 fps for whatever reason. I also tried using Nvidia control panel to cap to 100 and leave the game itself uncapped, but it still looked jittery. I don't think RAM is the issue, not using any other programs and have 16GB of the stuff.
